In brief - a bill has been introduced in Mississippi (and has a good chance of passing into law) that would allow church buses (and only church buses) of any size to be driven by someone without a proper license. Because God will protect them from accidents, I guess. :smack:
Is Canada still taking refugees? Because I might want to move to a sane country someday.
All you need is a plastic Jesus riding on the dashboard.
Cue the scene from In God We Tru$t where they’re in the portable church/bus at the top of the hill singing “We Shall Gather at the River” & the emergency brake fails.
It literally adds an exemption for “church-owned” vehicles. That’s not journalistic short-hand.
Are we to presume that Jews and Muslims receive no similar exemption? Or am I assuming too much about Mississippi’s pluralism in 2015?
No, and neither does KFC.
Mississippians will also be singing There’s a Bluebird on my Shoulder, because there will be.
Somebody needs to sit these “Jesus is my co-pilot” people down and explain to them that God plans on them dying. God only promised salvation in an after-life; he never promised anyone they would get to live forever in this life. So if you want to stay alive for a little while longer, stop expecting God to protect you and start following some basic safety procedures.
And on a related note, stop expecting faith to heal you. Go seek professional medical attention.
I don’t care if it rains or freezes.
This thread has me wondering if there was ever a permutation of dashboard Jesus and those hula girl ornaments.
Heck, I’d settle for a St. Christopher in a hula skirt.
Darwin will help dig the graves.
with baby Jesus on his shoulders.
…and no one will know if its still original recipe or extra crispy until they open the box…?
I should never suggest lawmakers suffer from** General Paralysis of the Insane** — if that’s still a thing. It was big in later 19th century and early 20th century literature dealing with Syp, a surprising topic — if only because I doubt much difference can be perceived 'twixt the elected afflicted and the elected unafflicted; however recent research indicates social diseases are as popular as religiosity in The Hospitality State.
To be fair (though I don’t know any reason to be fair to Mississippi) they have the highest vaccination rate among the states.
Punchline to a longer joke:
Now-deceased man of God: God, why didn’t you save me?
God: I sent two boats and a helicopter. What MORE did you want?
One wonders what the church’s insurance provider would have to say about this.
And now I’m wondering if churches carry liability insurance, they must, right?
You can self-insure.
From here. PDF
They can probably self insure. Not so bad, get hit by a bus, you’re paralyzed, and you end up owning a church.
Pop quiz: which state allows 7.1% of its school children to start kindergarten without getting measles shots, and which state doesn’t allow religious or philosophical exemptions:
